Making Nettle Thread - with Kasia Kaminska

Описание: In this video Kasia Kaminska leads us through the simple, mindful process of making a thread from nettle fibres. This is an ancient technique and can be easily done on lazy Summer afternoons.

This is a beautiful material to use for bookbinding, flower arranging or to make a simple bracelet.
